Fuzzy bears!
I get the feeling that some of the people following this discussion have erroneous ideas (at least WRT some of the suggestions I've made in this thread) and are picturing Obama & company in black and scarlet robes holding hands around a flaming pentagram.
It's far more subversive and subtle than that, Gang.
Paraphrasing Mark Passio, "One of the biggest problems in our society is that we have in full effect such a pervasive propagation of Satanic principles, which is just subtle enough on the surface to ensure that the majority of the population becomes unknowingly trapped in the Satanic mindset. Without ever coming to a full understanding of what Satanism is, they're effectively initiated as low-level Satanists, simply by virtue of the ideologies, religious and otherwise, that guide their actions in their day-to-day lives."
That's not to say there aren't overt practitioners of dark occultist traditions in very high places; but it's important to understand that the "high[est] places" of all are above and beyond those "We, the People" have been given to believe are the highest levels of government, ETC.
The professed religions of "viable candidates" for supposedly high offices are truly irrelevant, when one of the main determinants (if not the main deteminant) of their 'viability' is their willingness to play the role of lapdog to those with the money and influence to put them into office.
Just what are these principles? Making such a claim is meaningless without more detail. I could say that there are pervasive Islamic or Buddhist or Zoroastrian or Norse principles in our society. It means nothing unless I can point out what those principles are and show that they are either unique to the philosophy/religion of my claim or prove that it is because of the philosophy/religion I'm speaking about that they are so pervasive.
